Do I need to fill out an inventory list?

In most circumstances the remover will take care of creating an inventory of your items for relocation.

The 1st inventory list is normally created by our estimator/removal consultant in order to quote your relocation requirements.

All Moving Companies require an inventory list in order to quote your move. Having an inventory list will help the removals company calculate the truck space needed for your move and provide you with the most accurate quote.

For European or International moves where a home visit from our estimator is not possible, you can list your items  ( Word, Excel ) and send your list via email or fill out our on-line quote form.

The 2nd inventory list is completed by our removals crew on the day of move prior to, or at the time of loading the vehicle.

The removal crew will create a fully itemised inventory when they are loading the vehicle which upon completion you check and sign for. The removal crew will then give you a copy of the inventory, a copy stays with the travelling vehicle in order to satisfy customs/Police requirements, any final copies are added to your client file in our offices.

The loading inventory is used as a checklist upon delivery, all items will be crossed off the inventory upon delivery 1 by 1 which ensures you receive all your effects at your chosen destination.

How early do I need to book a removal?

For local moves it’s best to book at least 4 – 8 weeks prior to your moving date. For National, European & International moves however, it is advised to book as early as possible to avoid missing out due to companies being booked out or unavailable. The more notice – the better the chance of securing your preferred date.
